Mission
To facilitate engagement and partnership of patients in all stages of health-related research and care delivery to improve healthcare access and patient outcomes.
Background
Patients are a distinct stakeholder group. Outcomes research is rapidly evolving and major changes are already being implemented. One common feature is the agreed consensus on the importance to obtain the input of patients in all processes in the value assessments of medicines for society.
